Only after they had walked to a place with no one around did Gu Beichuan speak.
“Don’t casually give your contact information to others when you’re out. Got it?”
The older man’s tone was somewhat serious, and Su Yanyan felt inexplicably flustered as she quickly explained, “I… it’s not like I gave it to him.”
Gu Beichuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking down at the girl, then said in a deep voice, “If I hadn’t shown up in time, you would have given it to him, wouldn’t you?”
Su Yanyan disagreed with the older man’s words and retorted, “That’s not true. He asked for my number before, and I didn’t give it to him.”
Hearing Su Yanyan’s words, Gu Beichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling his mood improve considerably in an instant.
Even his tone unconsciously softened a bit. “You did the right thing.”
After saying this, Gu Beichuan added, “That person doesn’t seem like a good guy. Don’t pay him any attention from now on!”
Doesn’t seem like a good guy?
Su Yanyan thought about the smile of that senior from earlier and felt that he seemed perfectly cheerful—what about him didn’t seem like a good person?
However, Su Yanyan didn’t argue with the older man’s words.
She lowered her head, bit down on her straw, and took a gentle sip. The next second, Su Yanyan’s expression instantly changed.
“Uncle, did you buy me hot juice?” She hadn’t noticed earlier, but only now did Su Yanyan realize the cup was warm too.
Gu Beichuan had just taken a sip of the juice in his hand. Hearing the young girl’s words, he gave an “mm” in acknowledgment.
Then he continued, “Drinking it hot is healthier.”
If he hadn’t had the store clerk take some time to heat up the juice, that kid probably would have had the chance to talk to the young girl at all.
Su Yanyan…
She let out an “oh,” and then her gaze fell on the cup in the older man’s hand.
Her eyes shifted slightly, and the next second, she quietly and sneakily extended a finger to poke at the older man’s cup.
Cold!!
Immediately after, her features scrunched up into a bun shape.
“Uncle, didn’t you say drinking it hot is healthy?”
If it was so healthy, why was he drinking it cold?
Liar!
The young girl’s aggrieved little expression was quite vivid, and Gu Beichuan couldn’t help but let a trace of a smile slip across the corner of his mouth.
Soon, he snapped back to attention and said lightly, “It’s not good for girls to drink cold things!”
After saying this, Gu Beichuan lifted the cup in Su Yanyan’s hand and brought it to her lips. “Aren’t you thirsty? Drink up!”
Then he lowered his head, his deep gaze falling on the girl’s lips as she bit down on the straw.
In the past, Su Yanyan always felt that time passed so slowly, but ever since she met the older man, she felt that time passed so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was Monday.
In the car, Su Yanyan counted the days on her fingers.
Today was the fifth week and five days of her pregnancy. That doctor had said that six to seven weeks was the optimal time.
Su Yanyan’s hand unconsciously moved to her stomach. Her baby would be leaving her in just two more days.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt inexplicably upset.
Gu Beichuan, who was beside her, immediately noticed the young girl’s change. “What’s wrong? Not feeling well?”
Hearing this, Su Yanyan quickly shook her head, suppressing her discomfort to squeeze out a smile. “I’m fine.”
Gu Beichuan always felt that the young girl had something on her mind that she was hiding from him, but since she wasn’t willing to say it, he wouldn’t force her.
Everyone has some scars and secrets in their hearts that they don’t want others to know.
Soon, Su Yanyan could see the school.
The older man’s place was quite close to the school, and it happened to be right in the middle between his workplace and his residence.
Just as the car was about to reach their destination, Su Yanyan suddenly remembered that there would be a lot of people at the main gate at this hour. Startled, she hurriedly spoke up in a panic.
“Stop… stop the car! I’ll get off here.”
The young girl’s face had gone pale from anxiety.
Gu Beichuan understood what was on the young girl’s mind. Glancing at the school gate, which was still quite a distance away, he said, “Drive to the south gate.”
Then he continued, “There are fewer people at the south gate.”
Indeed, there were fewer people at the south gate, but Su Yanyan still asked Gu Beichuan to park a bit further away.
Just as Su Yanyan was about to head toward the teaching building, someone called out to her.
Turning around, she saw Mo Fan striding toward her in large steps.
“Junior Su, have you had breakfast? I bought an extra one—here, for you.” Mo Fan had already reached Su Yanyan and held out the bag in his hand toward her.
Su Yanyan’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. She had only met this senior twice in total—they weren’t that familiar!
Was this senior just naturally outgoing? Offering her breakfast right off the bat like that.
Startled, Su Yanyan couldn’t help but take a step back. “I’ve already eaten. Thank you, senior.”
Mo Fan smiled and withdrew his hand, then quickly added, “By the way, I’m working on some short drama videos with my friends. Would you be interested in being one of our actors?”
Short drama actor?
The word “actor” made Su Yanyan’s eyes light up slightly, but her expression quickly returned to normal as she shook her head. “I’m not really suitable. You should find someone else.”
